Objects of choice and objects inherited – what impressions do they leave on our minds? What do we still see in our homes after many years of habitation? Do we realize how often we interact with a certain object on a daily, weekly, or a monthly basis?
Since we often don’t pay attention to these everyday mundane and repetitive tasks, I wanted to raise my own awareness and be in the present moment. I made an experiment where I counted each time I touched a certain object in a day, such as a light switch, door handle, electric socket, toilet flush handle, cabinet doors, microwave, dog bowl, etc. This repetitive activity of touching the object and then counting each touch resulted in a grid of activity that was classified and recorded.
Using raw clay slabs, I’ve taken impressions of these objects according to how many times per day I interacted with them. Each slab of clay represents 1 day of interacting with that object. The numbers vary greatly and are dependent on the object, ranging from just a couple (dog bowl) to as many as dozens per day (light switch). The resulting Impressions are not replicas of the objects I touch every day. Instead, they are the recordings of my activity, negative reliefs representing memory of touch.

different patches, different scars, different stories. but really, we’re all made of the same stuff, running on the same plane, spinning with the same universal energies. this thought always reminds me to try my best to act with gentleness and light with everyone I come across, including myself. #pottery#artandhealing
